TOUR DETAILS: 

This tour takes you a down the Alafia River into Tampa Bay to Pine Key (aka Shark Tooth Island) running along the 2^nd Spoil Island. At Pine Key we will swim & eat a picnic lunch before heading over to TECO, which is where the Manatee Viewing Center is in Apollo Beach. You will notice a significant degree change in the water as we enter the channel, which is why the manatees, sting rays & other water life make their passage here each year during the colder months. After this, we will head back to Pine Key.  Then we will run the east shore of Spoil Island #2 and, tide dependent, we will run through Bird Key and back into Alafia River. PACK A LUNCH.

There is always a good chance you will see dolphins, stingrays, manatee, sea turtles, and even sharks.

*We could be stopped by the Coast Guard for an inspection at any time.  Make sure you are compliant! Please read the important tour guidelines below.
